Mei Yun was introduced by Shen Xi and got acquainted with Xie Yifei and her son.
"Yifei, Xi Xi often mentioned you when she was in Country B. She received a lot of help from you after returning to China. It’s true that true friends can withstand the test of time."
Upon learning that Shen Xi had recognized Xie Han as her godmother, she held her hand and sat intimately beside her. "Big sister, although Xi Xi isn't my biological niece, in my eyes, she is like one. Her mother passed away when she was very young. With you as her godmother during her time back home, she must be experiencing motherly love again."
Xie Han glanced at Shen Xi and smiled, "Xi Xi and Yifei have been friends for many years. I heard about her experiences and have always felt sorry for her. It is my honor if I can give her a bit of motherly love."
Hearing this, Shen Xi's eyes welled up with tears. She quickly picked up her water glass and stood up, "Godmother, Auntie, thank you for taking care of me. I'll toast you with tea instead of wine."
"Xi Xi, it's just the beginning, you can't propose a toast right away. Let's all drink this first, and you can toast them later," Song Kai Cheng said, standing up.
Everyone burst into laughter and stood up, sharing the first toast. Jian Yan, Xie Yifei, and Shen Xi had to drive, so they drank only beverages or clear tea.
This meal was mainly to welcome Song Kai Cheng and Mei Yun. After the first toast, everyone began to toast each other. The three children were eating happily at the side. They had a fantastic time at the amusement park this afternoon and had expended a lot of energy, so their little stomachs were empty.
Shen Xi sat beside Song Kai Cheng and asked in a low voice, "Kai Cheng, you must have returned for an urgent matter. Can you tell me now?"
Song Kai Cheng glanced at the others and replied, "Later, I'll tell you privately."
"Oh." Shen Xi looked puzzled, raised her glass, and lightly clinked it with his wine glass.
An hour later, everyone was full of food and wine, chatting and laughing as they exited the private room. The children, hand in hand with Jian Fan and Xie Yifei, had already run to the entrance. Xie Han and Mei Yun were still holding hands, chatting all the way.
Shen Xi and Song Kai Cheng walked at the back. When they reached the front desk to pay, Song Kai Cheng insisted on paying, saying the meal was on him. Shen Xi couldn't agree, so she scanned his WeChat QR code and paid.
As she turned around, she suddenly saw a familiar figure standing in the courtyard not far away, looking over with surprise. Qin Xiuyi? What a coincidence, he was also dining here. Shen Xi was planning to find time to visit him at Phantom, but unexpectedly met him here.
"Kai Cheng, wait for me." Shen Xi said, then walked towards him.
"Mr. Qin, what a coincidence, are you dining here today?" Qin Xiuyi thought she would only nod politely upon seeing him, but he didn't expect her to walk over and greet him proactively.
"Yes, Dr. Shen, it's indeed a coincidence. I didn't expect to see you here." Shen Xi smiled at him. "Mr. Qin, there are a few things I'm not sure if I should say."
"Dr. Shen, please feel free to speak," Qin Xiuyi frowned slightly, not understanding the meaning of her words.
"It's like this. Grandmother's condition has reached a very critical juncture. A relaxed environment and a good mood are very important for her. If she often gets angry and experiences major emotional fluctuations, it will worsen her condition and frequently cause confusion in her thinking," Shen Xi said cautiously, trying to make her words as gentle as possible.
Qin Xiuyi was a very intelligent person. She had called out to him and come over to say such veiled words, so how could he not understand her implied meaning?
"Dr. Shen, I understand what you mean. The situation you mentioned will never happen again. I will learn more from you and Si Ye, and go along with her wishes."
